Could suit you if…
- You regularly make longer journeys: diesel may fit that pattern better than a routine of mostly short trips. Compare actual running costs.
- You prefer a higher seating position: this SUV/crossover type may suit. Try getting in and out; the body shape alone does not prove extra seats or four-wheel drive.
Think twice if…
- You need room for several children or extra passengers: the seat count is not recorded. Confirm this exact version's seats and child-seat fit; do not assume from the model name.
- Most journeys are short school runs or local trips: check whether this diesel has a particulate filter and what longer runs its handbook requires.
- You need predictable ownership costs: at around 10 years old and 224,000 km, check maintenance records and upcoming work. Mileage alone does not tell you the car's condition.
This is general guidance about this type of car and your needs — not an inspection or approval of this individual car.
The 2013–2019 Kuga (this 2016 example) commonly uses turbocharged diesel engines with a DPF and EGR system — both can show soot/carbon issues if mainly used on short runs. Manuals are straightforward but the clutch can be worn on high-mileage cars; some 2.0‑litre diesels from this era may also use AdBlue/SCR, so check whether this particular car has that system and associated refill history. Ford parts are widely available in Ireland, and non-premium running costs are generally reasonable compared with more expensive European marques.
- DPF regeneration history and soot loading — look for frequent forced-regens or a persistent DPF warning (common if used on short trips).
- EGR/intake carbon build-up and turbocharger play or oil leaks (symptoms: smoke on cold start, loss of boost, rattly turbo).
- Clutch bite point and any slipping or judder, plus smooth gear engagement and no crunching in lower gears.
- If fitted with AWD, test 4x4 engagement and listen for unusual noises from diffs; if 2WD, check rear suspension bushes for wear.
- Check underside and wheel-arch areas for corrosion and inspect any towbar for heavy wear or signs of prolonged towing.
